TESTIMONIAL
LoxDox. July ~ Tho Gladstone testi-
monisl presentation has made . great
sensation. The nm<s 10 particularly en-
ragged. u gave yesterday over nve
columns 70 the subject In an ugly, angry
editorial. and sad that this craven image,
which Mr.. Gladstone accepted - proof
Of the irrepressibic interest Of America Ia
The great Irish cause. was the happy
thought OF Mr. Joseph Pulitzer. 4
Bavarian, who conducts = New York
newspaper largely dependent upon III,
Irish for support After weeks Of frantic
appeals b. that newspaper, the profound
and irrcpressiblc interest OF America had
produced considerably less than $1,000
subscribed BY about seven hundred per-
sons.
.Mr. Pulitssr," says the Tm>, saw
that this could never do. 90 he got up Z
popular entertainment AZ what CORE
sponds, in New York 70 the Crcmorne Of
Rosherville Gardens. II was extensively
puRsd, and the people were promised
good value for their money. They went
TO the number Of over 1000 and the net
receipts were some $50 The money was
added 70 the Gladstone fund. and the At
tendance was added to the list Of sub.
scribcrs Soon afterwards another
entertainment was given, the pro
ceeds Of which went to the fund.
while the number Of those who
attended was added 10 the subscribers
list as before. This was in August, and the
subscription list was kept open well in 70
the winter. with the result that the paltry
sum OF s. sac9 was scraped together. At
least half this sum consisted Of the pro
ceeds OF entertainments in which neither
the admiration Of Mr. Gladstone nor sym.
patty for Ireland can be fairly said 10
have counted for any thing. Tho other
half represents the money value OF the
enthusiasm OF hundred thousand Irish
voters in New York
The committee that has managed the
al air is very much what might be In.
ferred from an affair 80 managed. II IL
composed Of pushing Irish tradesmen in
New York or OF men like Mr.. Perry Bel

cure their most sweet voices For all
these gentlemen il IL very good business
They have drawn Mr.. Gladstone and they
have posed IS cham pions Of the Irish peo
pie Their pianos on hire system. their
cheap furs. their insurance company and
their ferry boats will presumably gain
great increase o. Irish custom Conceive
the depths to which a man must have
sunk before he can contemplate such an
Offering as this with any thing but repug-
nance and disgust Conceive the insult
to the American people conveyed IN the
assumption that when they wish 10 homo
q man they can do nothing better than
scrape together 600 By months Of
frantic adjnration in the New York
World and bv charging for admission 70
dancing and fireworks. Think Of the good
taste, good feeling and dignity displayed
when one who has been Prime Minister OF
England. Ia the very act OF receiving the
tainted proceeds OF advertising specula-
ton at the hands Of his country's enc
mics. taunts that country. and taunts it
falsely. with receiving aims from Amer
lea The world ought to know says
tins lofty-minded patriot. that we
have been for long time recipl-

or il is that Irishmen in America have
sent money 10 their friends al home, and
that some OF that money may have been
spent In paying rents. What statesman

1HR OTHER SIDE
The Pan Nan Gaz>fss remarks. 'sThe
Times is becoming. we saw II il all serious

torial opinions 70 be tolerated By people

stone had ample warning Of the charac-
ter Of the gift offered to him on Saturday.

Then a. 70 its facts today. We probably
know thousand times more about Mr.
Joseph Pulitzer in this ONCE than all the
inns ST. a put together. We could write
a detailed biography OF him from tho time
he began 20 live in st. Louis up to the day
on which he addressed Mr.. Gladstone at

Finally, as to the taste Of this elevated

more startling revelations on 'Parnellism
